hey there...

i thought about it and i'm pretty sure i want to make the MX bar conversion... now the question is how?

It's a 97 gix, so the top yoke is somewhat thin... is there anyone who has done this mod before... and what would you reccomend?

I used the same bar adapters they sell for dirtbikes it go to a large dia Renthall bar. just drilled and tapped. If you think its to thin, mark where its going to be drilled and have the thickness built up with a tig welder on the backside. You can buy a ready built uppers from
a couple of places. Try here: http://www.whaccessories.com/

The yokes are aluminium, so i think i might reinforce it with a thick piece of alum...

also... about the risers... any chance you would have a pic of the ones you used?

I bought some @ a local yard, but i'd like to see which ones you used to i'd feel better about these ones hehehe...

You never had a problem with the conversion or anything?

this is what i've done so far...

check it out and let me know what you think

I don't have any pics as my camera took a crap about three weeks ago (right in the middle of the 1000 fork conversion on my 90) and I have not the spare cash to replace it at the moment. I used some 1in1/8th adapter clamps from my local Dealer because I'm running Renthall Twin Walls. They had a half moon on the bottom to mate with the bike they we designed for. I just milled it off. I will try to bring it in to work so I can take some pics next week.

that would be awesome if you could post some pics!!! would help me out a lot i think...

i hope i'm gonna drill today and get the bottom reinforced before i fasten everything up!

i got my head back today finally... 5 angle valve job, polish & port and new valves images/icons/smile.gif

can't wait to get it all togeter... i was thinking using projector lights as headlights... any thoughts on that?

projector lights are ok but not as good as standard so you'll have to slow down at night(a little graemlins/flipoff.gif )
have seen the pics of your bike on the other site bars look good i have done it the same way just that my risers are bigger and a two hole mount
dont go for a ducati seat unit everybody and his mothers got one of them i went for a complete 96 blade and it looks "THE MUTTS NUTTS" images/icons/cool.gif

i ended up getting an race tail for an older gixxer and i think it looks pretty good... so i'll stick with that for now.

i'll keep updates here as i get stuff done
